Chapter 337 Even a Clear Mirror Is Not a Platform
"Sir, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Bao's good friend, Li Lianhua, and this is their companion, Wu You."
He Xiaohui stood in front of Fang Duobing and introduced the two strangers in the room to Fang Zeshi, the Minister of Revenue who had just entered.
"Greetings, Lord Fang." Wu You and Li Lianhua quickly stood up.
"Hmm, Wu..." Upon hearing this name, Fang Zeshi felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Looking back at his wife, He Xiaohui, Fang Zeshi saw her nod slightly and immediately understood.
He quickly clasped his hands in greeting to the two men, saying, "You're too kind, my little one is naughty and has caused you trouble, hasn't he?"
"No trouble at all. Xiao Bao is lively and active, and very cute."
"Lord Fang, what kind of father are you? You start exposing your son's shortcomings in front of outsiders, aren't you?"
Fang Duobing poked his head out from behind He Xiaohui and grumbled at Fang Zeshi.
"Look at you, standing there so casually and without any manners. What have you accomplished in this world? What are you doing today? You, let me go."
Fang Zeshi was about to have a serious talk with Fang Duobing, who had run off into the dangerous world of martial arts without a word, causing him great concern. But Fang Duobing ran over and hugged him tightly, making it difficult for him to move.
"Let go, let go." Fang Zeshi felt embarrassed when he saw that there were still two outsiders staring at him, so he quickly pushed Fang Duobing away.
"You flatter me, you flatter me," He Xiaohui said with a smile, seeing that Li Lianhua and Wu You were watching so intently.
“Lord Fang, I’ve never properly called you ‘father’ since I was a child, but in my heart, you are the most amazing father I’ve ever had.”
Seeing Fang Duobing acting completely differently than usual, Fang Zeshi frowned slightly and looked him over: "Are you still Fang Duobing? Or did you get into some big trouble outside, and now you're acting all innocent as soon as you get back?"
"What are you saying, Lao Fang? I am your own son, no doubt about it."
"You're certainly disrespectful. I'm telling you, don't try anything funny in front of me, and don't even think about escaping your marriage to the princess."
"Your aunt's matter is settled, and now it's time to decide yours. The Emperor's grace is boundless; you can't escape it."
Wu You watched from the side, and as Fang Zeshi spoke, there was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone, as if he was really happy to see Fang Duobing suffer a setback.
"Look, look, Old Fang is putting on airs and lecturing me again." Hearing Fang Zeshi say this, Fang Duobing immediately distanced himself from him and returned to He Xiaohui's side.
"You..." Fang Zeshi was almost driven mad by this brat. He started complaining to his face, who knows what he would say about him behind his back.
"I've said this so many times: I don't want to marry a princess."
“You, what kind of son speaks to his father like that? He’s so stubborn and unruly. Madam, Madam, you must discipline your son.”
Oh my, Master He must be so busy these days, probably just busy solving cases for these two.
He Xiaohui coughed as she looked at Wu Youliang's bright expression: "Alright, alright, we have guests here, so don't say anything to the child."
Fang Zeshi glanced back at Lianhua and Wu You, then quickly straightened his sleeves, regaining his previous composure, as if he hadn't been the one who had just done those things.
"Oh, right, the people from the Ministry of Works have also come to offer their congratulations. I've already invited them to the West Banquet Hall. You should go and greet them quickly."
"Let your mother teach you a lesson." Fang Zeshi snorted at Fang Duobing and then headed to the West Banquet Hall.
